Part 2/9:
Traditionally, "Black Monday" refers to the day NFL head coaches are often dismissed at the conclusion of regular seasons, but the Giants took the step early, indicating dissatisfaction with the team's performance. Senior editor Jerry Foley and Giants beat writer Chris Bizano discussed the move, emphasizing that it was not entirely unexpected due to the team's poor record and embarrassing losses. The Giants had been underperforming, and their record reflecting numerous double-digit losses proved to be a tipping point.
